[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario24601:
I recently bought few phones and don't know which one to keep to replace my old 2013 moto x. I got galaxy alpha, oneplus x, and Z5 compact. To be honest none feel as good ergonomically as the moto x. The oneplus is nice, good screen and speed but a Lil big. The z5c is really nice but darn thing si hard to hold without a case. Just way too slippery. And loli on it not very fast in my opinion. Also gets pretty warm with light surfing. Not terribly hot but the hottest of the bunch. The alpha is good all around. Nice size, weight is awesome... So light! Speed seems good. My first time using Samsung, it's not as terrible as I thought would be. I switched to Nova prime and feels good. No SD card is a bummer but not deal breaker. It's also slippery but best grip of bunch without case. Screen is good but a bit yellow and not as sharp next to oneplus.

What do you all think, which would you keep?

Thanks.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario24601:
Been using the x 2013 for some time now and its just about perfect. I dont game, my use is heavy on web, text. The problem with my X is that the microphone doesnt seem to work anymore, I have to carry a wired or bluetooth to talk on the phone...which is a pain.

I want something small, similar in size, to replace it. Ive narrowed it down to a Nexus 5 or One Plus X. Which would you guys recommend? Anyone else make a move from the X 2013 to one of these models?

Thanks,

Mario
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiongkia:
Oneplus X is great but the customer service, warranty etc is bad. Not sure about nexus 5 but its an old phone as compared to oneplus x. Suggest other comparison like xiao mi note 3.

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dani.galla:
I have both models. Moto X 2013 and Oneplus X.

OP X is a great phone, but it has some software bugs (I think OP will fix them).

The dimensions and the specs are very good. It's a bit slippery, but you can solve with a cover.

Anyway I prefer the fantastic Moto X :D
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario24601:
Thanks all, yeah I really like the moto x but I need to be able to make calls without a headset. Anyone else have any thoughts or suggestions?
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IchBinNoob:
I am happy with my Oneplus x :)

If I was you, I would buy the Oneplus x ;)
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZackoFF96:
bought my opx a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier.

but as another user posted above, the device is great but the OS is still a bit buggy and the customer service is not that great.

if you decided to buy opx, welome to the opx research and development team hahah
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RashidD:
Hi there,

I've owned the Nexus 5, then the Oneplus One, and now the Oneplus X (mainly because I wanted a smaller premium feeling handset again and my OPO had some drop damages).

Simply put, the Oneplus X is a Nexus 5 on steroids. Expect about 1.5-2x the battery life, a higher quality amoled screen (if you like amoled) and much more premium feel in the hand. I also think the Snapdragon 801 is a sweet spot for cheap-mid rangers. There is basically no lag on Oxygen OS 2.2.0 and with blu spark kernel my phone performs really well.

The Nexus 5 was a great device for its time, but the Oneplus X is better in nearly every way (if ROM support is not that important to you).
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario24601:
Thanks for the feedback!
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thanasis st:

[General Questions and Answers] Carabeth:
So Instagram (the app of course) says now that my account was banned (for violating instagram's terms...) but i can access it on the instagram-website. I created a new account on an android emulator on my PC because i can't create any accounts on my smartphone anymore. And if i try to log into it via my smartphone it just says the same thing. My friend told me something of a "ban wave bug", i honestly don't know anything about it. Can anyone help me? :D

Hello.

Can anybody help, or suggest something ?

Situation.

Have a XDA III 02 branded (PH20B1), WM 6, Radio 1.15.

Tha device is working perfect but:

calling problems: i can make and receive a call, i can hear the person called perfect, but the person I call can't hear anything, better case something like an old vinyl sound, but can't understand any of my words!

Ideas ?

Thanks a lot!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] evoluzionne:
what ROM do you use? 2003? try to find the unidirectional patch at the wiki!

if the problem stays... just simply to upgrade to WM5 or 6...

good luck

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] saxxen:
Thanks adri, but

as I said, I already have WM6 and Radio 1.15 on the BA.

Do I need an extra patch ?

At least anyone can tell if is a software problem, or hardware ?

I can hear perfect the person called/calling me.

Thanks!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Moped_Ryder:
I thought it may be a good idea for folks to list what ROM / Kernel they are using and details on its stability. Since we have different versions of our phones and kernels / Rom combos I thought listing the details on what each of us use may help others.

Here is my best (or most stable) setup so far:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlacenka:
Hello all note4 users

considering note 4 - to get as new phone :)

why note - because of spen

why note4 - because easy qi charging, replaceable battery, sd card, maybe because of IR :)

the question is (for now) - are there any disadvantages of using root on note 4 ?

i know advantages, but dunno if i dont get something wrong when i root the phone ?

i mean disfunction of some spen apps - i will use spen for all wacom advantages, not only as finger replacement.

thx for answers

and second one - which "smart"watch u use with note 4?

thx again :)

sorry for my english :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sushant1thakran:
Disadvantages of root is, loss of warranty, even if u flash the stock rom, u will never reclaim it.

Other than that, there is no disadvantage.

i use moto 360 2nd gen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlacenka:

and u use any other rom or stock ?

thx again.)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jovan1997:
I see on others threads with custom roms sot is 3-4.5h.

I will root and flash custom after 6.0.1,if samsung dont update tw with theme engine and new camera api
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alessandro_xda:
An important disadvantage when rooting is the loss of the Knox container

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlacenka:
ok, last 2 phones to consider - note 4 or lumia 950xl :)

what i want : wireless charging (i know note4 has not native)

good photo camera

replaceable battery

bonuses of android: root, have a lot of payed apps, ofc the reason for note - spen

bonuses of wm: new of (for me) - "native" run (no java vm)

something new to learn, iris scanner

continuum ? (i know it is cannot run native x86 apps), but is it advantage ?

so..what u think its better for me ?

thx for answers

Go for Lg g5 or lg v10, Note 4 has aged now.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
Unless you need to root your device, because you work as a sofware developer and need your device to be root so you can take advantage of those abilities. You don't need to root your device. As stated before it will void your manufacturers warrenty on your device.

I got my Note 4 N910C shortly after the SGS6 series was released and after the Note 5 specs were released. I have absolutely no regrets in getting it as it will probably last me a good few years before I need to upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlacenka:
in country i live is N910F, but root is what i want...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
Until Samsung release another Note series with replaceable battery Note 4 is your only choice considering you want S-Pen & replaceable battery.

Note 4 is still a good device & now the price has dropped quite a lot.

Comparing to the G5 yes it has aged. Comparing to the V10? Oh no it didn't, Note 4 still has better performance than the V10.

Note 4 is the only phone I have had for more than a year, does everything I need and more, and for the age it still performs great :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's a great phone but a huge disadvantage that has not been mentioned is its stock dpi.

It ships with 640 dpi as default which makes the GUI incredibly huge and annoying. You can use adb to change it, but most stock apps do not scale with a custom dpi.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
On dpi, I guess it totally depends on user preference. For me 640 dpi is best as i don't like small fonts which are hard to read. With small fonts I have to wear my reading glass every time.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maheshzx:
Disadvantage is you miss most of spen functionality in CM roms,otherwise TW customs roms are good.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlacenka:
i hope i will :)

u know how it is

to root or not to root ? dont know if i need knox...but.. i think i need warranty :)

i dont want another rom - i want use spen features :)) but i think there will be nova launcher... we will see what it can do when it comes :)

but i need root for some applications and some customizations.)

ok..there is a lot of alternative apps for almost same functionality without root..but not all :)

and neeed/really want QI charger - any tip for "best one" but not those which make a lot of heat :) - functional with another case .)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Lol true. There's absolutely no point in decreasing DPI after a certain limit. Most think that it's great, but you can bet that all of them have to shrink their eyes a bit to adjust to their small DPI, or keep the phone closer than before to your eyes, I'm talking about people with near perfect to perfect vision.

And Note 4 I think has actually decreased the stock DPI in comparison with Note 3. 640 should be near perfect fort most people, I use 600 anyway, and this is where I don't have to shrink my eyes, or put on my glass, or make any alterations in comparison with stock DPI. Love your eyes, not the more screen area.

And there's App Settings of Xposed with which you can restore the Samsung's stock apps' DPI to default, while keeping a lower valued DPI system wide.

Keep dreaming. I don't see a Note 5 with replaceable battery in a near future. Note6 will probably have Expandable storage but thats it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafqut Mehedin Tomo:
I was never a Samsung fan. Honestly. Before Samsung I used few Xperia devices including C, Z and Z3 and was bored using those device. Then I moved to samsung. and my first device was Note 4. I have been using the device for last 1.5 months. And now, i am a big fan of samsung. Although Note 4 is an old model. But its unique features like, Fingerprint sensor, heart rate, UV meter, Stress meter, Quad HD AMOLED display, Camera, RAM, Removable battery, Expandable memory, S-Pen and obviously the design; has made this device a Beast. You can go for Samsung.

I have rooted my device and currently using custom rom, custom kernel and also custom recovery (erobot ROM, suemax kernel, philz touch recovey) and i haven't faced any problem (unless you install xposed framework on oyur device).

One thing is true that, samsung will not update note 4 UI very soon, but you can find plenty of resources to update your device according to your own choice. For example, i am using a ported samsung galaxy note 5 firmware on my note 4 with samsung's latest UI.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
That is true! As much as we would love for Samsung to include the removable battery feature in the Note 6, they probably won't as it will probably follow the same design language as the SGS7 series.

Samsung has always been slow with regards to firmware updates for all it's devices. Hopefully we will see Marshmallow soon for the Note 4, but firmware release dates vary from the device's country release origin.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlacenka:
i was never samsung fan too, but i think that the note "edition of phones" is something to consider.

(i am actually waiting for "new toy" to come to me), i want root, but dunno if i should root it - dont know if it is good or not good :))

i know mine warranty will be void .), but dunno if it is advantage to use non rooted knox or root it and be able to use more things i want (callblocker, call recorder ((i have skwalex)), but i want to be able to use tasker with "if this app runs start gps" etc... so... what is knox really good for ? (as i understand i dont need to "find my phone" from samsung - because i have payed for cerberuss app... so.. what are other options i loose with root from knox ?

and another quiestion - have read a lot of threads here, but ... is there any good "hard back case" to use with "china qi wireless charging" ? i need wireless charging because almost everyphone i have "died" for the charging connector (car navigation and a lot of cable management in work, home, etc)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlacenka:
so phone on way to me -

should i root stocked, or wait for 6x update and then root ?

Hello all,

We all know there is no device section for Yu Yutopia. I request the moderators to create a section for the device. The device has similar configuration as Nexus 6P and only lacking part is the buggy software. It has so much potential and device can be improved so much with the help of xda universe.

I urge all the member who share my opinion to add a +1 comment or a relevant comment so that moderators can see the popularity of the device and create a section to boost the development on "the beast".

[LG G Watch] konradit:
Since the Marshmallow announcement for Android Wear everyone is waiting for the update to hit their watches. If any of you got a notification saying an update is available/other text implying a software update do the following to get a OTA URL:

If you have access to charging cradle and PC:

1. Install ADB tool (windows users need ADB driver too). Plenty of tutorials out there. Mac/Linux users can use this: https://github.com/simmac/minimal_adb_fastboot

2. Enable USB Debugging on the wear watch: Go to Settings App > About and Tap 7 times the build number until you are a developer. Then proceed to go to settings again and go to Developer Tools. Scroll down to USB debugging and turn it on. Then place it on the charger.

3. In Terminal, type "adb devices", see if your watch is listed there. Then type "adb logcat" and update your watch. DO NOT CLOSE THE TERMINAL!

4. Once your watch has booted to recovery/whatever to install the update, do Control + C to end the log.

5. Copy the log to a text editor and find google.com, try the URLs until one downloads a ZIP file, the URL ends with something like: fromXXXXtoXXX signed .zip

6. Share that URL here!

If you dont have a charging cradle and a PC

You can still grab the OTA link.

1. Get the ADB tool (explained in first step above)

2. Enable developer options in both phone and watch

3. In the watch, enable Bluetooth debugging

4. Connect the phone to the PC using a USB cable

5. type

"adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub"

"adb connect localhost:4444"

You should see connected to localhost:4444

6. Type "adb -e logcat" and update your watch

7. When your watch boots to recovery/whatever do Control + C.

8. Search for google.com and check that the URL downloads a .ZIP file.

NEW METHOD: USING ONLY THE WATCH AND PHONE

This is by far the best method of getting a logcat with OTA URL since it only requires the watch and the phone, no computer or ADB software.

By [MENTION=632910]DA6030[/MENTION]

Is ADB really necessarily? You can do it without a computer at all, using the on-device "bug report" function to generate the log, and then send that to yourself as a .txt file. I think a lot of people would find that much easier.

1. Enable developer options.

2. Enable ADB debugging. (maybe this is optional?)

3. Enable "Bug report in menu". (maybe this is optional?)

4. Wait patiently for OTA notification. When you get the OTA notification, do NOT accept the OTA. Instead, generate a bug report. Easiest way is probably from the Android Wear app on your phone (3-dot overflow menu --> "Report wearable bug").

5. Wait patiently (can be 5-10 mins) for the watch to build a bug report. It will keep a persistent notification on the watch while it's generating the report, and a notification on the phone when it's done.

6. From the Android Wear app on your phone, send to yourself (e.g., email or Google Drive).

7. Search for the aforementioned .zip file URL

8. Share the URL here!

Good luck!
